Introduction

This video outlines Thomas DeLauer's 30-day plan to repair damaged gut health. He emphasizes addressing the gut lining directly and minimizing inflammation, rather than solely focusing on fiber and beneficial bacteria. The plan incorporates dietary changes and specific supplements.

Key Takeaways

• Digestive Breaks: Taking breaks from eating (intermittent fasting) increases short-chain fatty acid production, reduces inflammatory cytokines, and lowers oxidative stress, allowing the gut to heal.
• Gut Lining Repair: Prioritize gut lining repair using bone broth, collagen protein, and green tea. Avoid emulsifiers like polysorbates.
• Sugar Restriction: Minimize sugar consumption to reduce levels of proteobacteria, which counteract the benefits of beneficial gut bacteria. Increase protein intake to help manage sugar cravings and reduce inflammation.
• Supplementation: Consider supplementing with glutamine (5 grams daily) to repair tight junctions in the gut lining. Note potential contraindications for glutamine.
• Polyphenols: Increase polyphenol intake (e.g., berries, green tea) to improve gut health and reduce inflammation. Polyphenols are effective even in small amounts.
• Hydration: Increase water intake. Studies show that increased water consumption leads to significant positive changes in gut microbiome composition (13% variance).
